UFT elections – Support New Action

March 4, 2007 am31 3:47 am

I will write more later, but for now, the UFT elections for officers and exec board are coming up. You will receive a ballot in the mail. Vote New Action and return it.

New Action stands for organizing chapters, protecting our most vulnerable members, integrating new members into the UFT, and helping them stay in teaching longer. New Action stands for extending union democracy, better working conditions, better pay, and taking on monster administrators.

New Action supporters take responsibility for building this union: as chapter leaders, as consultative committee members, on citywide committees. New Action supporters worked actively on the Negotiating Committee, were on the Action Committee (which is starting back up?), and are tireless members of the Organizing Committee.

I am running as part of the New Action slate. Make this message your message: vote New Action.

    Hi Jonathan- You neglected to mention that New Action is not locked into an irrevocable position of knee-jerk opposition like ICE-TJC, or total blind-support like members of Unity. Members of New Action like yourself, will support or oppose a policy based on how it impacts the members. We have and are helping the members. Jonathan you and members of New Action are part of the solution.

    Thank you, David. The general approach is to do what is best for the UFT and the membership. That requires evaluating individual proposals on their merits, which is what New Action does.
